hide tags on portfolio pages
-
It seems like I posted this in a wrong forum first, so I’m reposting here.
Is there a way to hide tags on portfolio pages? They look quite ugly and don’t make sense to be displayed, in my case, as many of them are unique to each project.
I’ve tried using this piece of code, but it didn’t do anything:
.tag-links {
display: none;
}
I’ve also tried this, with no success:
.entry-meta-tags {
display: none;
}
Just to make sure I’m using the right syntax, here is what I’ve got (including the default portfolio code):[gallery type="rectangular" link="none" ids="73,63,197,201,69,60,155,147,143,154,156,196,203,202,200"
.entry-meta-tags {
display: none;
}]Does this look accurate? And if so, would you have any other suggestions?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
That’s a beautiful website with even more beautiful pictures you have there!
You will need a premium account to edit CSS:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/If you have a premium account go to this page:
https://photosbysvetlana.wordpress.com/wp-admin/customize.phpAnd in the sidebar on the left under CSS tab, you can add this:
.single-jetpack-portfolio .entry-meta-tags { display: none; }This should remove all the tags on portfolio pages.
I hope this helps!
Best regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
I didn’t realize this wasn’t something that could be done in the Text editor, kind of like a shortcode. I certainly don’t have the premium account.
What would be the SEO impact if I removed all the tags and used categories instead?
Thanks,

What would be the SEO impact if I removed all the tags and used categories instead?
Neither categories nor tags are required for search engine indexing purposes. To search engines categories and tags are one in the same thing. Hence if you use the same keywords and keyword phrases as both categories and as tags the assumption is that you are spamdexing or tag spamming.

You will also want to be aware of all the reasons for non-appearance of blog posts on WordPress.COM topics (categories and tags) pages and in the Reader. http://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/#missing-posts
The combined total of categories and tags on any post must not exceed 15 or it will not display on Categories and Tags pages and in the WordPress.COM Reader.As you have assigned a combined total that exceeds 15 relevant Categories/Tags to your posts, you need to edit and delete. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/ After removal of the excess categories and/or tags note it may take several days for your posts to begin displaying there.
The rule of thumb is to assign to your posts the least, not the most, combined number of only relevant categories and tags that accurately describe the individual post content.

timethief, thanks for the helpful info. How about galleries? Is there any specific restriction on those or do the same rules apply as they do to posts? I’m not sure if I can use all of my tags as categories, but it’s certainly distracting to have them appear at the bottom of the page as they do now
-
actually, I think in the case of galleries, it would be project types, not categories. Is there any SEO advantage (for within WP or organic search) to use them if I remove the tags?

@svetlanasf, when we hide things with CSS, we are making them invisible to your visitors. They still exist in the HTML code on your site, so the search engines can still see them.
On images, if you do not wish to used the tags, you do not have to use tags. On Project Types, again, if we hide them with CSS, the search engines can still see the Project Type in the HTML on your site.
